You are a high school football recruit and you are sitting around somewhere wondering where to attend college. The in-home visits from coaches from all across the Country are over. Your official on-campus visits have all been completed and now it is time to decide what you are looking for in a University.
Looking for some NFL first round draft choices? Yeah, the University of Miami has those in bunches.
Want some NFL Pro-Bowl players to convince you? "The U" counts them in double digits.
Need some future NFL Hall of Famers? Yeah, we have a few of those from "The U" too.
With the Pro Bowl just around the corner, we know that you must be asking yourself: "How many players from the University of Miami will appear in the 2010 Pro Bowl? " If you answered 10 then you would be correct!
Here they are, all from The U, and in all of their glory:
RB Frank Gore, San Fancisco 49ers
WR Andre Johnson, Houstan Texans
LB Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens
OL Bryant McKinnie, Minnesota Vikings
S Brandon Merriweather, New England Patriots
S Ed Reed, Baltimore Ravens
S Antrel Rolle, Arizona Cardinals
LB Jonathan Vilma, New Orleans Saints
WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
DL Vince Wilfork, New England Patriots
In case you were wondering, yes, it is a fact that the University of Miami will have the largest number of players in the Pro Bowl. By far. No questions asked. Six on defense, four on offense, ten players total.
The only question for the next season of recruits at "The U" is: "Who is next?"
Since 1980, the history, tradition and success of the Miami Hurricanes football team remains unmatched by any other team in modern times. The record for consecutive years with a first round pick (14 years spanning from 1994 to 2008), the most first round picks in any one year (6 in 2004) and the most players overall in the NFLU all belong to the University of Miami.
If you want to be the best, you have to join the best.
You want to be part of "The U".

Good Morning everyone. 10 players in the Pro Bowl should never be disregarded. I wonder if the announcers will state that awsome fact during the game.
Who are all of you going for---Saints with Vilma or Colts with Wayne? Can you imagine if all 10 (with others of course) played on the same NFL team? What fun would that be.
On another note I'm going for a MRI brain scan on Monday. 120 days since the last "pill" and still have shaking, slurring my words, and pain etc. I should sue but I just want to get better.
All the best to 86 and Mrs. 86. See you in

According to Rolle, none of it was true. Terrence Craig, who was quoted in the ESPN story saying, ``the people in the community at Northwestern won't forget this,'' wasn't a part of Northwestern's staff in 2009. Craig, a former Bulls offensive line coach, is currently at Miami Southridge.

MaryLou Shockey will be on the field with the Saints as well.
I'd love to see the Saints win it all. Wayne has his ring. It's time for two more Canes to get there's.
Did anybody watch the Saints Vs Vikings game? Vilma deserved MVP. The only reason it came down to that FG at the end was because of Vilma. He forced a fumble, picked up a fumble and had an INT??? What else could you ask from your MLB? I saw Vilma in on just about every play completely giving his body and soul to make plays out there. Damn I hope Nelson is the next Ray Lewis or Jonathan Vilma for Miami.
Let me rephrase that, soemone on our roster needs to step up & be a Ray Lewis, Jonathan Vilma or Dan Morgan type for this defense.

Not sure if its been posted already, but from Shandel at the SS
CORAL GABLES _ The Miami Hurricanes have hired Rick Petri as their new defensive line coach, according to a UM source.
Petri replaces Clint Hurtt, who took an assistant job at Louisville. Petri, 56, coached the defensive line at Kentucky the past five years before being not retained when new coach Joker Phillips took over in the offseason.
Petri begins his second stint at UM. He was the assistant defensive line coach with the Hurricanes from 1993-95. His other coaching stops include Ole Miss, Louisiana Tech, South Carolina and Arkansas State.
A few thoughts:
--UM coach Randy Shannon and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland will get to do something tonight many coaches failed to experience while recruiting top-ranked offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson. They will get an in-home visit. After weeks of conducting business at Cretin Derham Hall in St. Paul, Minn., the school Henderson attends, the family has agreed to host Shannon and Stoutland. In-home visits are much personal, compared to meeting in a coach's office. Could be an advantage for UM.
Another Henderson tidbit: His parents have every intention of moving with him to college. I spoke with his father Sean Henderson this morning and his response to the possibility of living in South Florida: "It's great, it's Miami, South Beach. We live in Minnesota, it's nine degrees right now and feels like 20 below (zero). I'm sure, it's 70 there.

UM has hired Rick Petri to replace Clint Hurtt as defensive line coach.
No announcement has been forthcoming from UM’s athletic department, but Warner Robins (Ga.) High School coach Bryan Way said Thursday morning that Petri was at the school on Wednesday to speak with four-star defensive tackle Jeffrey Whitaker.

Petri is expected back in Coral Gables today and will be on hand this weekend when several top high school prospects visit UM’s campus.

Jackson Jeffcoat is the other big name to watch. There was a recent in-home visit by four OU coaches, and there are rumors that his father, University of Houston assistant coach Jim Jeffcoat, could be offered a position on the OU staff.

Petri will have the same type of affect on the D-line that Whipple had on the offense. I fully expect our D-line to make a huge leap forward this year.
We have some studs we've been collecting in the past recruiting classes. It's time to see them shine.

That's awesome if true. I can't wait to see our D-line this year. We have so much talent on the D-line. I can see why it's hard recruiting this position this year. A recruit looking at our depth chart has to scratch his head and realize it will be a complete dog fight to get on the field early.

Jeremy Shockey and Jon Vilma who are playing in next week's Super Bowl as New Orleans Saints will feel at home when the Saints take the field to practice in South Florida. The Saints will be practicing at the University of Miami's Greentree practice field, the same field Vilma and Shockey practiced on throught out their college days at "The U." Also, the Saints will be using the Hurricanes' lockeroom the day of the Super Bowl. DeMarcus Van Dyke on his twitter page said: "whoever use my locker they better leave some gloves in my locker."
Posted by: Fightingibis | January 28, 2010 at 01:08 PM
While hurtt is gone, he had players to work with before this new wave of d-lineman came in. THis move of getting petri in here was more important in my mind not for the first line guys like forston, vernon, robinson, ojomo, those guys are going to start excelling at an even higher level now, but this move will really help the guys like luther robinson, delmar taylor, perry, jeremy lewis more so, these are the more raw guys that a guy like petri will be able to

"Mike was not especially taken by the campus or the stadium," Craig said. "It didn't have a college campus atmosphere or feel to it, and with the facility located off campus, he felt as if there might be a disconnect between the campus life and the stadium.
Posted by: bg1906 | January 28, 2010 at 08:21 AM
Really? Really? Why the slam, no matter how nicely phrased or thinly veiled? How about just saying something like "he liked Miami but just felt the other schools were a better fit". Oh, and by the way, what campus did you visit? Miami has a beautiful campus.
Daddy, a little advice: keep your mouth shut next time. Sonny boy is a kicker. He's not tough like Bosher. You should hope wherever he ends up, that team doesn't EVER play the U.
If they do play the U... a little friendly advice: have sonny boy skip off the field ASAP on kickoffs

If it is viral, do the docs suspect it is actually viral, or even better yet, have PCR to confirm the offending agent. If so, they should not be treating you empirically with antibiotics for a viral infection. They are not only useless in a viral setting, but that practice is reckless and irresponsible.

Ibis Forston was a true Soph this year so technically he can't medically redshirt till the school burns the "regular" redshirt so hopefully coming in this year he will be a redshirt soph..... I'm pretty sure this is how it would work and since he only played like 3 games max. they pry redshirted him
Posted by: DrewZ2 | January 28, 2010 at 02:48 PM
Cal, yeah, this move was truly divine intervention for Shannon. Hurtt isn't experienced enough to really shape these young Bucks into thoroughbreds, AND split his time with recruiting.
I'd say it bailed him out of his last spot of bad decision-making with giving cats a chance.
Petri's a teacher and a technician and a perfectionist/motivator, and I'm sure he's better now than he was in 91 because he's been working with less than U talent since he left, so he's been using all his teaching tools and learning new tools.

Posted by: Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer | January 28, 2010 at 02:52 PM
I had no problem with what Palardy's dad said. It's true.
I've been to schools like UGA where the whole city revolves around the school. It's a self contained atmosphere that's almost a place apart from the real world.
I've also been to commuter schools like USF where it's more like a business. Most people come in, go to class or put in their hours and leave.
The U seems to be a bit between: a small part of a big city but with a stronger campus life.
Posted by: Old Skool | January 28, 2010 at 03:06 PM
Drew- The redshirt/hardship/medical redshirt distinction has to be one of the convoluted NCAA rules I've ever seen. here's what I learned and had verified by someone close to the program:
A "redshirt" is only available for players who don't play in a single game. Once they appear, even for a single play, a year of eligibility is used. What we call a "medical redshirt" is available for players who play in less than 25% of their team's games, don't appear after the third game, and sustain a legitimate season-ending injury (must be verified by a doctor now, you used to be able to call anything a season-ending injury). The NCAA calls a "medical redshirt" a hardship request (or something similar) but it means the same thing as a redshirt, but it does require NCAA approval. So, Long story short, Fortson should have three more years of eligibility.

How could I forget about Jeremy Shockey being with Vilma? That cinches it for me. Go Saints, and besides I have Vilma's autograph to boot from Syracuse in 2002.

This is the kind of tenacity we need from our team... just picture yourself walking from the locker room to the field. Get it on baby. Its a little long but its worth it. UUUUUUUUUUUUUU .

i understand what Calvin is saying.
our team speed has always been great under Swasey. it's the strength numbers that have been suspect. that's whats been holding us back. that and lack of talent.
our linemen have to be the strongest guys on the team from now on. we should have about 6-8 big guys as strong or stronger than Bailey. when your RBs are stronger than your linemen, something is wrong.
you should be embarrassed as a big man if you're not putting up over 300 lbs, squatting over 400, or power clinging over 300.

Thanks Guys for all the good wishes!
Beericane I had a cat scan (but they say this is not the best way to diagnosis sinusitis)and it is all clear, if this antibiotic does not work more tests but the virus can actually cause the infection which has to be treated with the antibiotic. All I want is relief! The doctor also prescribed a pain medicine with caffeine for the headache (which is just miserable). I also for the first time used a Neti Pot to clear out my nose....only time will tell but I hate being sick!:(

Whenever a kid goes on other visits he is considered a "soft" commitment.
Dumb shyte....
GO CANEZ!!!!!

I was taking a look at highlights from games before JH got hurt this year and it's not even close.
His touch and accuracy fell off a cliff.
This O should be a thousand times better with a healthy J12 this year.
Gettin me hyped already!!
OL and RB battles should get heated.
Looking for Gunn to lock down a G spot. I liked the OL a lot better when he is in there.
FAAAAAST FOOOORWARD >>>>>>>>>
GO CANEZ!!!!!

Shwarm 5 more days my man!
I have a good feeling about Ego and Henderson and not so good feeling about Imac.
I think his grades get him and he ends up at WVU.
Hopefully he can pull it together last minute.
He would be a nice surprise.
GO CANEZ!!!!!

Is that where you clean your nose with a salt solution?
I swear by it. It might sting a little, but it works.
Posted by: miamimike01 | January 28, 2010 at 05:53 PM
yes it is kinda crazy miamimike...you put the solution in one side and drains out the other...I was afraid at first but it does clean you out. I would stand on my head at this point if they said it worked!

Another Henderson tidbit: His parents have every intention of moving with him to college. I spoke with his father Sean Henderson this morning and his response to the possibility of living in South Florida: "It's great, it's Miami, South Beach. We live in Minnesota, it's nine degrees right now and feels like 20 below (zero). I'm sure, it's 70 there.

Call me a cynic, but in college recruiting speach, parents moving with the player means nice cushy job and house near the school. Not the Miami way. I don't think he's coming.
his parents could be rich I guess.

That or they could have skills that would let them pick up and leave and find new jobs. Or they've been saving for this for some time and have a stash.
It is interesting though.
OTOH, he's talking about Miami with some nice words. haha
This is going to be very, very interesting. hahaha

Yeah, it really should be. These kids coming in are real athletes so we'll see if it's Swasey or if it was the Cokerites.
Posted by: Captain Optimist aka Cavaleer | January 28, 2010 at 06:06 PM
or power clinging over 300.
Posted by: Daytoncane | January 28, 2010 at 04:17 PM
That's a lot of weight to throw around. For an incoming FR.?
I would want that total by the end FR. year. Or maybe into SO. season.
